Roycello Fiano Salento IGT

A Fiano from the southern Italian Salento that shows what Puglia can do with white grape varieties: aromatic depth without heaviness, warmth without alcoholic burn.

Tormaresca belongs to the Antinori group and manages two estates in Puglia – including the Tenuta Maìme, from which this single-varietal Fiano originates. The soils of the Salento, calcareous and well-drained, give the grape variety exactly what it needs: minerality as a counterweight to Mediterranean ripeness.

In the glass, the Roycello shows aromas of white peach, citrus zest, and jasmine, with a delicate herbal tone underneath – typical for Fiano. On the palate, it is gentle at the start, then has varietal-typical acidity that provides freshness without being sharp. The finish is persistent, slightly salty.
